It’s almost as easy to listen to your performance on your MIDI instrument. For
instructions on how to play a track on a MIDI keyboard, refer to Tutorial 1.
The Piano Roll, Staff, and Event List views all show the same basic information—
the notes that you recorded. The Piano Roll view displays the track as a player-
piano roll. The Staff view shows notes in traditional music notation. The Event
List view lists all MIDI events for the track. When you need to edit a track, you
can work in any of these views. On different occasions you may have reason to use
different views. More information about the Piano Roll, Staff, and Event List views
can be found in later chapters of this User’s Guide.
When you're ready to continue, close the Piano Roll, Staff, and Event List views.
Recording Another Take
Maybe your first attempt at recording resulted in a perfect performance, but
maybe not. If you'd like to remove your first take and try again, do the following:
1. Choose Edit-Undo Recording or press Ctrl+Z to undo your recording.
2. Click Rewind , or press w. The track is still armed for recording, so you
don't need to re-arm it.
3. Click Record , or press r.
4. When you finish recording, click the Stop button in the Transport toolbar or
press the Spacebar.
Alternatively, you could record your next attempt on a new track. That way you
can keep all the takes and select the best one later (or combine the best parts of
each!). If you record on a new track, be sure to arm the new track for recording and
to disarm the previous track. See “Loop Recording” on page 65 for a convenient
way to record multiple takes.
Saving Your Work
When you have something you’d like to keep, you can save the project by doing the
following:
1. Choose File-Save As.
2. In the File Name box, type a new file name, such as
my project.
3. Click OK.
